The Ada West District office of the National Commission for Civic Education, NCCE, in its quest to inculcate civic values in children with the aim to reorient their attitude toward playing positive roles in our democratic journey, has sensitized school pupils in the District to remind them on their responsibilities and role as citizens, to help build a strong, vibrant and democratic Ghana.

Speaking at the annual Citizenship Week celebration, the Ada West District Director of the NCCE, Samuel Etsey, emphasized the need to inculcate in pupils the values of citizenship, and a sense of patriotism as a means of preparing them to be responsible adults and leaders in their communities and the country.

The NCCE introduced the Citizenship Week celebration in 2021 as part of the annual Constitution Week celebration which started in 2001. The annual week celebration is a platform where people in leadership positions and accomplished citizens interact and impart virtues of good citizenship to pupils across the country. The 2023 Citizenship commemoration is on the theme; “30 Years of Consolidating Constitutional Democracy and Building National Cohesion: The Role of the Ghanaian Child”.

The NCCE Director stressed that under the Fourth Republic, the Ghanaian child and youth have been recognized as major sources of human capital and key agents for socio-cultural, economic, and political development, as well as technological innovation.
